[Elecraft] [K3] KXV3B - No missing pin

[Don Wilhelm]

Geoff,

Look at the mating female connector.  If there is a plug in that 
connector that matches the third from right pin, you will have to remove 
the pin.
Those are "keying" pins to assure that you do not misplug the connectors 
by being one pin off.
If there is no keying plug in the female connector, then you do not have 
to remove that pin - but be careful to insert the pins correctly.

In my case there is no missing pin so I’m wondering if that, too, is normal? Anyone come across this? It would be easy to remove but I’d rather not if it’s alright to leave it.
